Planning to file
Questions questions.
Well look. Suppose you’re booked to do a performance at a fundraiser for women in Afghanistan, and then after you signed up, the fundraiser is taken over by the Taliban. You would know the funds raised would not be going to women in Afghanistan, wouldn’t you. So, not wanting to fund the Taliban, you would cancel, right?
This is like that. A gig at the Kennedy Center is not the same thing as a gig at the Trump-Kennedy Center.
The Trump-Kennedy Center, led by President Donald Trump’s appointee Richard Grenell, says it is planning to file a $1 million lawsuit “after the holidays” against jazz musician Chuck Redd.
It comes after the artist canceled a Christmas Eve performance after Trump’s name was added to the building’s signage, a spokesperson for the center confirmed to ABC News on Monday.
After, and because. Post hoc ET propter hoc.
The threat to file a $1 million lawsuit was expressed by Grenell, the center’s president, in a letter that was addressed to Redd and obtained by ABC News.
“Your decision to withdraw at the last moment—explicitly in response to the Center’s recent renaming, which honors President Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure—is classic intolerance and very costly to a non-profit Arts institution.”
What exactly are Trump’s extraordinary efforts to save this national treasure? Was it in danger of collapse or sliding into the Potomac or being redesigned as a gas station?
